Despite advances in the treatment of other genitourinary malignancies, no novel therapies have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for urothelial carcinoma (UC) in the last 20 years. To date, no clinical trials of targeted agents in UC have led to improvements in survival compared with cytotoxic therapy. This article outlines representative trials of targeted therapies in UC and discusses the significance of genetic preselection in trial design as a method to optimize responses to these agents, thus, hopefully expanding the armamentarium of treatment options against this lethal disease.
尽管在其他泌尿生殖系统恶性肿瘤的治疗方面取得了进展,但在过去20年里,美国食品药品监督管理局尚未批准任何针对尿路上皮癌(UC)的新疗法。迄今为止,与细胞毒性疗法相比,针对UC的靶向药物临床试验均未带来生存率的改善。本文概述了UC靶向治疗的代表性试验,并讨论了在试验设计中进行基因预选作为优化对这些药物反应的一种方法的重要性,从而有望扩大针对这种致命疾病的治疗选择范围。
